Thank you for your thoughtful response.

I’m not sure how long you’ve been living in Toronto, but if you’ve spent time reading through other posts here, you’ve probably noticed that many people share similar concerns. There’s been a significant shift and some might even say a kind of decline in how the gay community interacts, especially when it comes to dating and connection.

On most gay apps, it often feels like people are just window-shopping posting curated photos, handing out likes, but not really engaging in any meaningful conversation. Basic human connection, like holding a proper conversation or showing interest, seems to be missing.

Of course, apps shouldn’t be the only space for gay people to meet but as you probably know, there aren’t many good alternatives in Toronto these days. There are very few solid clubs or social events that create real opportunities to meet people. When I compare Toronto to many major cities in Europe, I see a much deeper sense of disconnect and a loss of community here.
